This is a cafe like shop. You walk in. You read the menu on the wall and order and they bring you your food Tables and booths are dated but clean. We ordered at the cashier and before we sat down- they were bringing us our soup. Flash like service Hot and sour soup tasted more like egg drop soup with added white vinegar and tofu. Not sour enough not spicy enough. Hubby ordered princess chicken- not spicy so he got more chilli from the counter I ordered 2 beef wontons. - crispy not bad. I ordered lemon chicken. Chicken was battered and had lemon sauce over it. It had thinly sliced carrots and bamboo shoots and snow peas. Taste was decent for that. Service was amazingly fast. Food was served on paper plates. Price was decent for the food. Amazingly fast service. Food looks a little bland but taste was decent. Good for a fast budget meal read more

Good service and a clean restaurant, although the interior feels a bit dated. The menu offers a decent variety of options to choose from. I thought the egg rolls were very good, and the Fortune Fried Rice was decent as well. However, overall, I felt the food lacked flavor and came across as somewhat bland. It seemed like many of the ingredients were prepared separately and then combined and reheated rather than cooked together long enough for the flavors to fully develop. Not a bad experience, but I would have liked to see more seasoning and better flavor integration throughout the dishes. read more

Had lunch here. Before I even sat down they where behind me to serve hot and sour soup. It tasted like microwaved egg drop soup and a touch of vinager. No more had sat and they brought the main dishes on paper plates. Meant to be princess chicken. And was told it was spicy. I tasted nothing. Just bland. The restaurant was clean and quiet. But the food dissapointed us both. read more

Been going here for over 30 years! Love the food. Best egg rolls in Lincoln in my opinion.

Great food! Lincoln family business we all love! Fried rice awesome! Family dinner 6 adults under $75 read more

My go to place for ordering Chinese food. Sad that they don't deliver at all. I wished they deliver but it's okay! I used to live by this place and gotten the same thing I always get to this day. I order the crab Rangoons and shrimp fried rice with a drink. The service is amazing they'll give you an estimate time of when the food is ready. Plus the inside of the restaurant is small but nice too read more

Very nice people working here. They were all happy to see me and answered all my questions about their menu items. It's Chinese food, so your don't expect a lot of surprise. However, the owner explained what was in a dish, with a ton of detail. I appreciated that. Try the rangoon, and the noodles. One "regular" entre, a soup, 2 egg rolls, and an order of rangoon was _plenty_ for my wife and me, for $20, before tip. read more

We called ahead for take out so we wouldn't have to wait. They said it would be ready in about 10 minutes. We arrived about 15 minutes later and they hadn't even started on it, and there was no wait or line. I waited 10 minutes after arriving to get my order. When I asked why they didn't prepare anything until I arrived, she said that this way it's fresh and not soggy. read more

Peanut butter chicken is excellent. Food always hot when getting take out!! Soup good too

The absolute best Chinese food in Lincoln in my opinion. We like to go in and order a bunch of things then get extra plates and eat family style. The cornerstone of our meal is always their hot braised chicken extra extra spicy. Pro tip though eat in the restaurant, it still taste great as Takeaway but the hot braised chicken breading is crispy and delicious eating in but gets a bit soggy as take away. They have fantastic hot and sour soup, whenever I have a cold I order a big one to go and sip on it and it is instant relief. Some kind of magic in that soup. read more

Fortune Palace - We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture before we smashed our lunch - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Fried rice had no flavor. General TSO chicken was awful and I wouldn't recommend it. Chicken was over breaded and under fried. It was a big mushy mess. Wish I could give it a zero read more

Fortune Palace - Crap mushy mess of general chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Greatest Chinese I've ever had in my life. I usually get the sesame chicken with fried rice and it is delicious. The crab Rangoon and sweet and sour are also amazing. The people that work there are very polite and nice. Very quick service. I've been eating there for years and would highly recommend! read more

Horrible.. dirty.. don't waste your money or time.. Hot sour was ok. Burnt Mongolian beef . Bland

We ordered several things. All were pretty gross. The Hot Braised Pork tasted only of salty soy sauce and funny enough the sesame chicken tasted identical. Both were disgustingly soggy. The pork fried RICE was more gross little peas & carrots than rice. The veggie lo mein had ZERO flavor. The crab Rangoon were decent but the sweet & sour sauce tasted like and had the consistency of cherry Kool-aide. We will not return ever. read more

No fuss Chinese restaurant order always comes out piping hot. Love the Mongolian Beef and Peanut Butter Chicken plus the hot and sour soup.

Been doing here for almost 30 years. Peanut butter chicken is #1 and a unique option too.

Great food! Amazing service too! Wish I would've gotten a little bit more orange chicken for the price I paid but other than that it was great! read more

This place is pretty popular!-I had never been . I am into traditional Asian foods and flavors so I was hoping for something spicy. I ordered the Thai spiced pork. And she informed me it was more sweet. I should have asked for more spicy no sweet, it was good, had flavor, lotsa veggies ( I'm trying to eat more veggies) but lacked the heat I was hoping for. Wouldn't say this is a good spot for real foodies seeking authentic Chinese food, wouldn't see many actually Asian ppl ( in a full house there was none, prolly 25 American ppl dining though !) so while it wasn't what I was hoping for it wasn't bad at all. Just very Americanized. The last place I tried in Lincoln I threw away it was so bad so this was definitely way better then that .Will have to try the lomein next time and ask for true spicy food. read more

Fortune Palace - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Never disappointed with fortune palace! Price is great. Food is delicious & consistent. It's always ready in the time estimate they give, & staff is always friendly! read more

Well lets see, what Can I say about this place? I have been coming to Fortune Palace ever since it opened way back when. I'm 34 now and still love coming here. Only downside is, that I have to trek across the city to just get here, but I'm never disappointed. Their selection is always on par, and might I say, they have the best crab Rangoon in town. It's just so...yummy. I'm drooling just thinking about it. ANYWAY... If you come here, ask for the Honey shrimp. It's like deep fried shrimp just bathed in a vast ocean of Honey Sauce. Damn it, I'm drooling again. Looks like I have somewhere to go for lunch today. Thank You, Internet! Seriously though. This place is a gem inside of Lincoln. People and staff are very Kind and respectful. Little bit more than what I would normally like to pay, but Oh...it's so worth it. read more

South lincoln is lacking in good Chinese food. However Fortune Palace has been a go to spot for South Lincoln residents for many years. Located at 56th and Old Cheney, this place has all the favorites and a few yummy variations you might not expect. You can boil everything down to the protein, and the sauce. For protein you get chicken, shrimp, pork, beef or veggie. For the sauce, you can get honey, Thai chili, teriyaki or peanut. They have the classics like Tso, orange, princess, le mm on etc. Then you can go with fried rice, steamed, chow mein, or lo mein, or rice noodles. They have it all, and it's all tasty. Worth checking this place out next time you are on the hunt for good Chinese in the south end of town. read more

Fortune Palace - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

This is a Lincoln staple! If you haven't been here before, it is definitely worth a try!

In my whole life, I have never tasted worse Chinese food. We stopped in this restaurant (based upon the reviews herein) while driving back home from Colorado. Sadly, I do not know whether the other reviewers have never had Chinese food from anywhere else or, more likely, if these are simply shill/sponsored reviews. Nothing was fresh or even passable fare. The egg rolls tasted like they were reheated once a week in the deep fryer over the course of a month and when they were heated on my go-around, the congealed grease would have made you gag. Perhaps, I attempted two mouthfuls of food before admitting defeat. It pains me to write this review, since the entire staff seemed warm and friendly but if you are traveling on a road trip through Lincoln, please do yourself a favor and stop anywhere else. The one thing that I'll agree with is that the food is cheap...but my wife (from China) and I were completely misled by the reviews and cannot offer a single reason to patronize this establishment. read more

For Lincoln, this place is great! And they were super friendly! Even allowed me to sample something before ordering it! Lincoln's chinese places allllll seem the same, but this one is different! And their options for vegetarians is awesome! Also, try their rice noodles!!! Sooooo good! read more

No luck finding authentic Chinese in Lincoln--this dining experience was horrible! The peanut butter chicken and General Tso chicken--both "chef specialties"--we're heavily breaded, soggy, greasy and inedible. The hot and sour soup seemed to be out of a can. I can't believe anyone would give this poor excuse for a restaurant a favorable review. This place is heinously bad! My sincerity and review are real. Save yourself from Fortune Palace--it will be the worst Chinese cuisine you will have the misfortune to eat. read more

I am giving 4 stars.... Only Because I know help is hard to find. I live in AZ and could not wait to have great Chinese food. When I visit family, this is our go to place. Must say, it was not as good as I remember. Next time we visit, I hope it is as amazing as I remember. read more

This place is great, family own and be in the business over 25 years. Their Tso's Chicken is the best, Peanut Butter Chicken and best home made Eggrolls and home made sweet and sour sauce. read more

This is the best, most consistent Chinese food I've found in my 40-years in Lincoln. Not any fancy atmosphere, service that is cordial but not friendly (at all) but consistently great chinese food. I especially like their General Tao's Chicken (extra spicy) and their Hot-Spicy Soup. Prices are very reasonable and they have "Family Sized" portions for sharing. They can handle a single or a group of 20 people. Take-out is FREAKY-FAST so if you call ahead don't allow more than 5 minutes--or it will be waiting for you and getting cold! read more

Inexpensive fast, and tasty. My favorite Chinese place in Lincoln. read more

Best Chinese food in Lincoln, Nebraska And very consistent on quality of their food !! read more

Fortune Palace has the fastest and best chinese food in Lincoln! I have been going there for years, and it hasn't changed other than they expanded. Sometimes when you use "fast" and chinese" people think it will be bad. But it is really good. You walk in and walk up to the counter where you place your order. The menu is right above you. Once you order and pay, you can go and sit down and they will bring your food out to you. Excellent portions and quality, and if you need more than normal you can get it in "family size". read more

Reallly good and extremly fast good food and fast need say more worth going out of way great rice hot sour soup

The food is great. The only thing I have a problem with is the service. I call ahead for takeout orders, they give me a time and when I show up I'm still having to wait because they haven't even started my order. What's the point of calling in your order when they don't even start it until you show up? At least when I call in a takeout order to Shens Cafe I only have to wait a minute or two to get my order. And it's still hot. read more

I've been eating at Fortune Palace I think since it opened and I can tell you with 100% honesty that I've never had a bad meal here. We don't even live in Lincoln anymore but we still eat here or do takeout as often as we can. Won't go anywhere else! PS. Try the Mongolian Beef, you'll thank me later! read more
